Hello, I am Jiahao Yuan, currently studying Artificial Intelligence at East China Normal University (ECNU). I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST).
My research interests broadly lie in enhancing reasoning capabilities of LLMs/MLLMs through post-training and agent rl, and aligning model capabilities across tasks and behaviors robustly in complex real-world environments. My long-term goal is to develop reasoning alignment and social alignment AI systems that benefit society.
I have published 7 papers in top international AI conferences such as ACL, AAAI, WWW, and MM, including associated competitions. I am also excited to announce the release of our newest empathetic LLM, Kardia-R1. As the lead contributor and first author during my internship at Ant Group, I represented the team in releasing 2 technical reports: Query as Anchor & How do decoder-only llm perceive user?. I am currently seeking job opportunities related to LLM.
Feel free to reach out via email at jamse_yuan@163.com 🤗 for relevant opportunities or potential collaborations —— I’m always open to research discussions!
